In this study published by David Kang from Korea the biomechanical changes after tPRK and fs-LASIK were compared. In addition, biomechanical corrected IOP was measured pre-operatively and 6 month post-operatively. The study showed that bIOP was statistically not different compared to the pre-op measurements.

New Study illustrates the clinical use of TBI for enhancing ectasia detection. In this groundbreaking paper the development and validation of the tomographic Biomechanical Index (TBI) is described. The data prove the increased sensitivity and specificity for the detection of subclinical keratoconus.

Case series further illustrates the advantage of the biomechanical assessment in cases without topographic or tomographic abnormalities. In this case series 12 cases are presented without any tomographic abnormality in one eye but clear ectasia in the other eye. Biomechanical properties were already altered in the tomographic normal eyes.
